World's Best Dad Lyrics - Rev - Ten Foot Pole

They tell you there were better days 

You can't remember through the haze 

This is the only life you've ever known 

They sigh and talk about fist fights 

When you could go to sleep at night 

Without avengers tearing out your wishbone 

You pray to God and wonder just who's up there 

What kind of father would leave his kids alone in a world 

Where you're lucky if your mom cares 

Hordes of people call the streets their home 

They want to take away the guns 

You want to get some bigger ones 

Your defense is up to you and you alone 

They think that they can stop the heat 

But they don't understand the street 

You don't want your girl crying on your tombstone 

Living in that memory, don't understand what they see 

So they pay cops to make it yesterday 

You can't push back the hands of time 

You want to know and keep on trying 

Do your best to stay out of their way
